I'm inclined to agree with you on this, guest, but Canada seems to be a part of the U.S. led coalition although some of the affected countries would rather deal with Canada, directly.

At any rate, the U.S. coalition and the U.N. seem to be working together on this response. Seems ineffecient, at best. Lets hope that both teams can co-ordinate their activities.
